MoreSummer wedding season is currently in full effect and chances are you’re probably attending one yourself. With such a variety of approaches to wedding ceremonies and venues, it can be difficult to know what’s appropriate to wear for any given celebration.To offer a little inspiration, here is the first in a series of three posts on how to dress for a summer wedding.
Classic, simple, elegant, refined, and sophisticated. When I think of a summer wedding taking place in the city, those are the words that immediately come to mind. I love classic looks where less is more and the devil is in the details.
Simple looks are often the most powerful, in my opinion, and really shine when there is a focus on impeccable fit. They also provide a fantastic opportunity to showcase some great subtle details, like a unique and intricate set of cufflinks.
This is the third time I’ve featured this suit on the site, though in different configurations. I wore the full three-piece version as my Preakness look this year, and the jacket as a separate dressing up some white denim. It’s always good to keep in mind that a suit is a versatile piece and can work in many different ways.
This Look: Blue suit by Quinntessential Gentleman Custom (jacket: similar here, pants: similar here) – White slim fit french cuff dress shirt by Brooks Brothers – Navy striped tie c/o Brooks Brothers – Floral silk pocket square c/o REISS – Sterling silver tie bar by The Tie Bar – Gunmetal steampunk watch movement cufflinks by Penny Black Fourty – Watch with black leather band by Timex – Black leather plaque belt by J.Crew – Black cap-toe oxford shoes by Cole Haan
Thanks, as always, for reading.
Stylishly Yours,
He Spoke Style
